CP train 246 had these three SD40-2 engines tucked in on their last ride to Larry's Trucking for scrap. CP 5697, CP 5642, and STL&H 5560 round the bend under the Highway 6 overpass on their way for a stop at Kinnear. I guess they left the door open on CP 5697 for the ghosts of the past to exit at their convenience.
